The ruins of the forgotten empire, Alabystra. Once home to millions of humans and creatures living in harmony, all was lost after The Great Plunge. Ahhen, the god of the Stars, Life, and Enlightenment fell into a deep slumber, leaving the Earth without light for a thousand years. After waking up, the ruins of countless cities destroyed by the god of Time and Darkness, Niphim - brother of Ahhen - were all that remained. Looking closely, you can still find mementos of the past: toys for creatures kept as pets, battling gear for those that were hostile, and vast paintings, chipped and cracked, depicting beasts of epic proportion that ruled the skies, seas and lands.
